Danny

I miss you very much and think of you often. It was a very sad day when you were taken from us. Your personality and good humor always helped lift our spirits when we were all down. I still place little American Flags around the Vietnam Veterans Memorial here in Buffalo New York on Memorial Day, in your honor. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.
